Copy the lines with 'cd /home/' in .bash_history to a separate file:

	$ grep 'cd /home/' .bash_history > separate-file

Delete the lines with 'cd /home/' from .bash_history (the forward  
slashes in the path need to be escaped):

	$ sed -i -e '/cd \/home\//d' .bash_history

Note that the '>' overwrites the contents on any existing 'separate- 
file'. A new 'separate-file' is created if it doesn't exist yet. If  
you want to append instead of overwrite, use >> instead.
